Mixed Logit Modelling of Airport Choice in Multi-airport Regions

This paper presents an analysis of the choice of airport by air-travellers departing from the San Francisco Bay area. The analysis uses the mixed multinomial logit model, which allows for a random distribution of tastes across decision-makers. To our knowledge, this is the first application using this model form in the analysis of airport choice. The results indicate that there is significant h...

Airport Surface Traffic Automation

• Because of a steady increase in air traffic, the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has instituted a number of programs that are designed to improve safety, reduce delays, and lessen workload intensity for air traffic controllers. The Airport Surface Traffic Automation (ASTA) program, which represents only a small portion of the total FAA effort, uses new tec...

Aeromacs - an Airport Communications System

The future airport surface communication system, called AeroMACS, shall be based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, in particular on the "WiMAX Mobile System Profile Specification". In the course of the SANDRA project the IEEE standard and the WIMAX mobile profile have been investigated and different configuration options have been evaluated. This paper presents an overview of options related to data...

The impact of airport characteristics on airport surface accidents and incidents.

INTRODUCTION Airport surface safety and in particular runway and taxiway safety is acknowledged globally as one of aviation's greatest challenges. To improve this key area of aviation safety, it is necessary to identify and understand the causal and contributing factors on safety occurrences. While the contribution of human factors, operations, and procedures has been researched extensively, th...
